Course Overview

Hollow Form Ring and Pendant Course

Create lightweight, sculptural jewellery in silver using hollow form techniques – design and make both a statement ring and pendant.

What is the Hollow Form Ring and Pendant Course?

Our Hollow Form Ring and Pendant Course teaches how to make bold, chunky jewellery that looks substantial but feels comfortable and light to wear. Using hollow form construction techniques, you’ll build forms from sheet silver – perfect for creating expressive, statement pieces without the weight of solid metal.

This is a highly practical class where you’ll develop confidence in forming, soldering, and finishing while refining precision and design control.

What will I make during the course?

You’ll complete two finished pieces of jewellery:

  1. Hollow Form Ring – A chunky D-section silver domed ring, created from two sheets of silver and optionally set with a gemstone.
  2. Hollow Form Pendant – Lightweight and decorated with surface pattern. In this project the hollow forms are created using a hydraulic press and interchangeable dies, offering multiple shape possibilities.

Throughout both projects, you’ll be guided through forming, soldering, texturing and finishing techniques learning the professional workflow behind hollow construction.

Course Schedule

  • Introduction to hollow form design principles
  • Demonstrations of forming, soldering, and shaping sheet silver

Workshop Safety

As a student you are responsible for your own safety in the workshop. The most important things to remember are;

  • Do not operate equipment you do not know how to use.
  • Covered footwear is required and absolutely no high heels.
  • Tie back long hair when using motorised equipment.
  • Please respect others and don’t interrupt students who are soldering, using the drill or any other equipment that could create a safety concern if the operator is distracted.
  • Remember to take all your belongings with you when you leave.
  • Please leave all unnecessary personal items at home.

You will need to bring

  • Your own apron, to protect your clothes.
  • Packed lunches are recommended if your class runs for a full day.
